I guess it was the way Bubba used the quotations, it was confusing. It appears that he was quoting me and I had nothing to do with the post he used. Instead of clarying he brushed off my question.

Relax man. I did not intend to brush you off. I had 2 year old trying eat cat food right when was starting to type and employed an economy of language. If you refer back to the confusing quote, you will note that I corrected my mistake, which was to accidentally include you in Sean's quote.

He's busy making awesome pages like I should be and probably thought it was most responsible to just fix the mistake and move on. :wink:

Yeah, I got one. Why can't my hippie friends "chill out" inside State Parks anymore ... like they used to back in the SIXTIES ?

Catle Crags State Park

by colinr » Sat Dec 17, 2011 7:43 pm

According to this article efforts are under way to reopen Castle Crags State Park. The article mentions that 9 out of the 70 closure list parks have had enough effort made on their behalf to remain open. It seems that the success stories I keep reading about near the South Bay have been the exception rather than the rule up to this point.
